‘Where everyone is able to achieve their best’

History

At Barnby Road Academy History is taught mainly by an integrated topic based approach, as part of our creative curriculum. We use as much first-hand experience as possible, for example by going on trips and having visitors and "experiences" come to us.

In History we aim to:

Fire pupils' curiosity about the past in Britain and the wider world

Encourage thinking about how the past influences the present

Help students develop a chronological framework for their knowledge of significant events and people

Foster a sense of identity and an increased understanding of pupils' own position in their own community and the world

Develop a range of skills and abilities - particularly those related to finding out about the past, explaining what happened and what people then and now think about what happened.
